Khadria | Why "Software Suppliers" are not firms? |
nike | they are not THE Firms defined in the GIPS. |
studyprep | Software suppliers are firms, by virtue. But here we are talking about Financial firms that provide Financial instruments (e.g. mutual funds and so on) for the investors and who wants to claim compliance of the GIPS. |
AUAU | Here 'firm' refers investment firm not suppliers firm that make no investment decision but only assist in presenting the results. |
johntan1979 | Note the word "assist", not control. |
